Surprise victory for Chamberlain in KF1

Alexander Albon (Intrepid / TM) and Chris Lock (Tony Kart / Vortex) were on the front row of Final 2 in KF1, while the floodlights at Sarno were lit, as the scene darkened visibly. Ignazio D’Agosto (Tony Kart / Vortex) and Sébastien Bailly (Kosmic / Vortex) followed and Nyck De Vries (Zanardi / Parilla) was 5th. Lock and Bailly were already struggling, followed closely by the amazing Jordan Chamberlain (Intrepid / TM) and Leo Roussel (Sodi / Parilla). De Vries was 9th, Albon 15th.

Chamberlain took the lead on the second lap, before Bailly and Lock. De Vries was the fastest on the track in 7th. Libor Toman (Birel / BMB) remained in fourth, but Matias Köykkä (CRG / Maxter) had to pass the De Vries Express. Jordon Lennox-Lamb (CRG / Maxter) attacked Alex Baron (Sodi / Parilla) for 9th. Lock broke loose and went back to Bailly, in second, to set the fastest time. Zdenek Groman (Kosmic / Vortex) was just back to 7th in the wake of Köykkä.

Chamberlain widened his lead to nearly two seconds approaching the halfway point. Toman increased the pressure and was dangerously close to Lock, whereas De Vries seemed to have thrown all his energy into battle without getting past 5th position. Toman captured 3rd on the 9th of the 15 laps of the race, unless it was interrupted by darkness. Where the Czech train rolls Bailly had to work hard to keep second. The battle began. Later, Lock seemed to weaken and De Vries caught him up in one go.

Round 12: Toman took Bailly. Lock was joined by De Vries on the next lap, attempted an attack at the start of the last lap, but could not pass. Superb victory for Jordan Chamberlain, 2 seconds ahead of Libor Toman, and 3rd was Sébastien Bailly.
